Crisis at Karlsruher SC: After numerous corona infections, the second division club wants to cancel the upcoming game against Sandhausen – and announces details of the findings.
16 players and four coaches at Karlsruher SC tested positive for the corona virus in PCR tests. The second division team from Baden will therefore apply to the German Football League (DFL) this Friday for the game against SV Sandhausen planned for Sunday to be cancelled. The KSC announced this on Thursday evening.
Apart from players and supervisors, four people from the functional team were also affected. All those involved with symptoms are doing well under the circumstances, the club said, pointing out that the vaccination rate was 100 percent.
